I feel your pain. My wife calls me something like “anal” all the time.

10-30 blend is Mercurys factory fill. The heavier oil is designed for warmer climates. Both are Mercury approved.

It’s also less likely to burn off on really long WOT runs.

Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing 🎉 Do you have a link to buy this kit?? It's Hard to find actually
@KyleCortianaFishing7 ай бұрын
It’s hard to find at times for sure. I bought my parts individually from a local dealer however I found this link that I believe to be the correct kit. But you need to verify the oil filter part number with your motor and also decide if you want the heavier oil or not. www.partsvu.com/mercury-marine-200-225-250-275-300-350-400r-hp-verado-four-stroke-outboard-fc-w-10w-30-synthetic-blend-oil-change-kit.html?adpos=&scid=scplpPVM00172&sc_intid=PVM00172&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADPnQRhM6oDBYBYenWjZx7HukbWH8&gclid=CjwKCAiAk9itBhASEiwA1my_6_FXSgSJVsTCvPt026QhioXAXE09N5hHLPOzeRMDvEhte2at4bZ3FRoCjfIQAvD_BwE

Hello Kyle would you recommend running a 25-40 synthetic blend i live in North Carolina only fish during warmer months thanks any help would be appreciated thanks
@KyleCortianaFishing4 ай бұрын
I choose the heavier weighted oil because when making long runs at wide open throttle (over 50 miles), it doesn’t burn off as much oil which can sneak up on you and then you get a low oil alarm and go into a limp mode.

When you change your own oil does it affect your warranty?
@KyleCortianaFishing4 ай бұрын
That’s a great question and I honestly don’t know the answer. I’d assume, as long as you’re using Mercury Approved Products and following the simple steps they provide on their oil changing kits, then it would definitely still be under warranty.

Hey Kyle, my trim button on the outboard stopped working. Just bought a used bay boat with a merc 115 pro xs. Any tips?
@KyleCortianaFishing Жыл бұрын
Probably just need a new trim switch. If all your buttons quit working then maybe a relay.

Can I ask why you chose 25W-40 vs the 10W-30? Not sure what use for my first oil change.
@KyleCortianaFishing8 ай бұрын
The 4 stroke motor will actually burn oil and if you make a couple of long runs (over an hour) at wide open throttle, then you could actually burn enough to get a low oil alarm. The heavier oil will help with that and I always keep spare oil in the boat incase this happens.

@@KyleCortianaFishing Thank you for the info. I fish small lakes so 5 or 6 minutes is about all I can do at WOT. 10W-30 it is. Appreciate the help.

Thanks for the video. I just wanted to clarify what you said. Are you saying that the XS will burn enough oil on a long run to set off the low oil light? @KyleCortianaFishing
@KyleCortianaFishing4 ай бұрын
@411sponge72 If you check your oil level before making a long run and ensure that it’s full, then you won’t have any issues with triggering the low oil alarm. However, if you make repeated long runs (over 30-50 miles at WOT) and don’t check your oil level, then you’re definitely at risk of burning enough oil to set off the alarm. I’ve done it twice, both times I was making long runs of 90 miles one way in a tourney. On the second day, when returning back, I tripped the alarm. So that was about 300 miles at WOT. Hope that answers your question.
